Imported SWF background turns red (CP4)

Hey, guys.
I'm working on an e-learning project which requires me to embed an interactive swf file in my Captivate project.
It all works out fine except that the background of the swf turns red. I have tried a few things with the embedded swf in my attempts to make it work.
1. I placed a white box below all other elements. It did not work.
2. Turned the box into a movie clip. It did not work.
3. I noticed that the embedded image elements kept their backgrounds so I made a white png image and place it below all other elements. No change.
Please see the attached image. If anyone have any idea of what may cause this and how to solve the problem, please share!

Hi there
Does it begin by displaying some red blocks, then continue until the whole screen turns red and it remains that way? If so, you are likely seeing memory exhausted. Otherwise known as the "Red Screen Of Death". If that's the case, I'm guessing there is a lot of Full Motion Video clips?
Cheers... Rick

Imported SWFs background to "Transparent" in Presenter?

Is it possible to set an imported SWFs background to transparent within Presenter? I have Presenter 7, PowerPoint 2007, Flash CS4, working in Windows Vista.
The only way I know to set SWF transparency is with the WMode parameter... so, in PowerPoint, if I right-click the imported SWF and choose "Properties" I get the Properties window which contains a field WMode. I set this to "Transparent", but when publishing the Presenter file to "My Computer" the original SWF background (white in this case) still shows up.
My PowerPoint has a gradient background, and my SWF file's stage is smaller than my PPT stage. Making teh SWF BG transparent will allow me to place the SWF wherever I need to on the PPT stage without having to worry about lining up background gradients precisely.
Any help is appreciated.

So, not even 4 years later, and after 2 new versions of Flash can we still not produce a transparent background to be able to seamlessly go in a Powerpoint 2010 file? I imported a single/looping file under the <Insert Tab. It had a transparent backgound and a playhead with start/stop on it. Can't remember how I did it though?
Thanks,

Flash .SWF movie turns red

When I run a Flash .SWF file, it runs fine for a while then
the whole movie turns completly red and you can't see anything. I
am running Win XP SP2 with Internet Explorer 7 Browser.
Any Ideas on how to correct this?

Though this is not an extreme task to achieve, I'm not aware of any "you don't need to program anything" kinds of templates that allow you to quickly sequence a series of SWF files. But, I understand this kind of requirement if you aren't an AS3 programmer yourself (or maybe you are, and you just want to save time, which we all do!). Many times it can be worth paying $40 for some template/component versus taking the time ourselves (1 hour, someteims dozens of hours).
If this were programmed from scratch, it would be a combination of these concepts (sorry, no code here):
The Loader class to load in your other AS3 SWF files
Using an ENTER_FRAME event (in your application, not in the SWFs, which I'll assume you don't want to edit) to know when a SWF has reached the last frame, at which point you unload the current SWF and load a new SWF.
An array that lists out your SWF files.
Detection of when the final file has completed.
In addition, possible some UI controls that would:
Allow for the pausing/playing the current SWF (which would only control their main timeline; dealing with nested MovieClips with their own timelines would require add'l work).
Allow for the instant skipping to the Next or Previous SWF file.
Allow for the Restarting of the presentation when the final SWF has completed (or the option ability to loop to the 1st SWF at this point)
The end result would be your template, that could be made fully reusable by coupling it with a really small XML file:
The XML would become your list of SWF files
This could also control which UI controls you have available
Hopefully this gives you a general (abstract) sense of things you'd need to program (or find somebody to program...at which point the'll have their own take on how they'd do this).

HT5148 Why did my clip turned red when importing from QT to FCPX?

Hello. When I import my saved screenshot clip (Quicktime) to FCPX for assignment. It automatically turned red. I tried different ways of turning it back to orginial color. I failed. Help? pease....

Tom Wolsky wrote:
QuickTime screen captures don't work in FCP.
I think this a little too definitive. I have used these captures in FCP X, so I would not make such a blanket assumption.
I do reallize that issues are likely to arise, mostly due to inconsistent frame rates.

Please help!!! FCPx every time I import a video clip, it says that there is 1 file missing and it turns red.

Hi everyone,
I really need some help!!
I have started a new FCPx event (saved to my external hard drive) and every single time I upload video clips (.MOV) to Final Cut Pro, everything looks normal and great but within a minute or less, it says that there is a file missing (for each clip that i have imported) and the clip turns red. The clips still play fine and I can continue editing, but I don't understand why it keeps saying the file is missing??? I have tried relinking these clips with their originals found on my external harddrive, but again, after a few seconds, it says "1 file missing".
Am I importing these clips incorrectly? Are they corrupt files?
I appreciate any advice.

Hi amnolan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Final Cut Pro is unexpectedly prompting about clips missing from your project, start with steps 5, 8, 9 and 10 from this troubleshooting guide:

All the best,

Graphics turning Red or Black after a while for no apparent reason?

For some reason every time I import graphics to the library they are fine. But when I put them on the stage (there's about 30 of them in each of different keyframes) they seem to be replaced by black or red rectangles. In the library, they are fine, and when I export them as a .MOV they are sometimes fine. If I export them as an .AVI, however, they remain red and black. It's not all of the graphics, but the longer that I am in Flash, the more of them turn red.
I can't tell if it's one corrupt file or a corrupt installation, but it's been on three computers: a terrible laptop with Windows 7, a Mac, and a modern desktop with Windows 8.
Can anyone fill me in on what might be the cause or possible solutions? (or ways to diagnose it?)

My best guess is that you're somehow bumping up against a size limit like this Size limits | SWF, bitmap files | Flash Player 10. I know you're not using the Flash Player, but it's possible that since that limit is known there are limitations in the IDE that are related to it. Have you tried splitting your images into smaller pieces and combining several in the same Graphic symbol?

Please Help Exporting PDF Portfolio and Black Background turns White

I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
I followed these steps to make my background black:
"Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

Importing Swf

Hi there,
I have created a flash file using codebaby and it is transparent; however, when I bring it into adobe presenter, it has a black background. How do I get rid of the black background of the imported swf file? It looks great in other tools; however, I need it to be transparent in adobe presenter. I have 7.0.
Adobe presenter 7.0.6 build 7604

Hi there,
I am using AS2; however I still get the black background, so then I tried capturing the background and using that in my background and I get a border.

FCPX project turned red overnight. "Modified Files".

I spent three hours editing a talent show video for my school on my iMac. We used two Canon HFM41 cameras shooting in HD. I imported the clips and created a multicam clip and edited the clip with no problems. I stsrted uploading the project to YouTube before going to bed and woke up to a disaster. One of the camera angle clips and the multicam clip in the Event Browser had turned red with "Modified File". I have done this before many times successfully but not since upgrading to Mavericks. Please help me. Thank you.

OK, I do NOT mind rerendering to save a fifth of my hard drive.
Do you you have any idea why one is a fourth the size of the other?

Scanned b/w photos turning red in iphoto

I scanned in some old b/w photos into iphoto. They appear to be fine, but if I make any changes to them, such as cropping them, the photo turns red. How can I stop this? Thanks

IPhoto does not support gray scale. You must use RGB (sRGB) is recommended
Rescan with a color profile or export and change to sRGB and import

How do I change a black background to red in Aperture?

Hello!
I'm a little familiar with Aperture, but have recently encountered something I'm not sure how to do!
Using a long shutter speed and a light I took a picture of some floating words. I would like to change the black background to red without changing the white words. is Aperture capable of doing this? Any tips on how?

Aperture is not the tool for this. Aperture is designed to provide a photographer a non-destructive RAW workflow: you import files created by digital cameras, organize, store, and develop them into the best photographic images they can be, and then print them or create share-able files from them.
What you want to do goes beyond this general remit. It is more properly in the realm of graphics programs, which start with graphics files and change them and combine them to make new graphics files.
Any modern graphics program will allow you to easily do what you want. (You can probably do it in OS X's Preview app.)

Resizing imported swf files...

I have a movie clip that I want to import a swf file into,
but the swf is larger than the movie clip's area. I tried using a
resizing code for importing images that I found, but it makes the
swf very small. Is there a way to control the size of the imported
swf?

I did this recently where I had a backdrop clip that I wanted
to serve as a 'screen' for jpgs I loaded in. I wanted them to
resize to the full extent of the background clip and maintain their
aspect ratio. The backdrop clip could have different dimensions at
different points in time as well... anyhow this should work with
swfs same as jpegs.
So I'll explain it in my context as I don't know exactly
yours (sorry this might sound a bit complicated because of that).
#1 If your holderclip is called
imageHolder and it contains a single clip inside at location
0,0 called
imageBackdrop
#2 You create an emptyMovieClip inside imageHolder and use it
to load your swf into using a Loader with a listener
#3 you have some code similar to this in your onLoadInit
event for the Loader (onLoadInit lets you initialise things like
size location etc before it displays)
If you can do something like that then I think you should be
on the right track for what I think you want to do.

Image turns red when trying to add text?

I'm using CS5 64 bit on a Win7 64-bit machine, with 8GB RAM.
I have been creating images, then adding text to them, with no problem. All of a sudden, something is going wrong.
I have created an image out of a white background with green text. I saved it as a .psd
Later, I opened it in CS5, and clicked the Text tool. I put the cursor on the image, and the whole image box turned red.
All the options under Layer (like New or Duplicate) are grayed out.
The Layers box shows just one layer, named Index. Right clicking on that shows all grayed out options.
I also tried to add text to a previously saved .jpg with the same result.
If I make a new image, I can add text correctly.
And I can also add text to other .jpgs I've made previously.
So apparently it is something to do with the way these particular files were saved or something?
I tried resetting the Text tool but that did no good.
What am I doing wrong? What makes these images different?
I tried to upload the .psd image in question, but I got an error message saying that "the content type of this image is not allowed".
Thanks!

When I use the lasso background turns on the grid

Hi
I am using Photoshop CS5 on MAC. When I use the lasso tool and after closing the selection, background turns automatically on the grid background (white and grey squares) . I cant change it back to grey solid background. Please help in solving this problem.
WJ

I dont want to change that in preferences because the grid background is very useful when I cut out with lasso tool from a photo. I just want to turn off the grid around my photo (red outline)
Thank you

I don’t quite follow your description but if it’s just about the display of transparent areas that can be changed in the Preferences.

Disable hitArea for an imported swf

hi.
I am trying to create a custom data tip for a pie chart that is an imported swf.
Basically I have the pie wedge move the swf on rollOver.
The problem is that swf is on a higher depth than the pie chart it is not getting the rollOut call when the mouse rolls out of the wedge.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable the hitArea of the swf?
Thanks!

That only seems to affect the mouse cursor.
I actually found a work around by setting the visibility of the swf to false on rollout of the pie wedge.
I was mistaken when I thought the pie wedge was not getting it's rollOut call while the swf was visible.
However any pie wedges that are hidden by the swf do not get their rollOver call, so it necessitates turning the visibility off.
The same effect is achieved by setting the swf alpha to 0.
FYI
